Chapter 2: Equal pains
Arya ran over the sandy beach leaving no foot prints behind because of magic, not wanting to be exposed or followed to where she knew Eragon was mourning.
As she ran she thought about the confusing things that were swirling around in her head.
Ahh. Hear is the clearing of trees up ahead.
Where is Eragon? I can sense him but I cannot see him.
That’s when she saw him leaning against the tree, hidden from view almost completely by the thick tree roots. She walked over to him.
“Eragon we must go back to the Varden you are needed”.
His tone was bitterer than she had ever heard from him before “ Why should I? No one has lost more then me no one suffered more?”
Arya brought her hand down across his face with such force that a loud THWACK echoed out.
“How dare you say that, I have lost everyone except my mother, who barely acts as if I existed until 6 months ago before that she punished me!” Arya thundered outraged.
Eragon roared back equally angry, ”At least you knew your parents mine are both dead I did not even know one of them, and I never knew Brom as a father,” he wincing as he spoke Brom’s name.
For some reason Arya suddenly burst out crying” I am sorry Eragon I do not know what has gotten into me lately. I should not take my anger and sorrow out on you.”
Eragon rushed forward as he sensed her falling catching her close to the ground inches away from a rather sharp rock.
The last thing Arya heard before she fainted was Eragon saying” We have endured equal losses and pains, pomunuria fricai“.
******************
Arya woke to the sound of a fire crackling and crickets chirping. As she pulled herself up from her lying position she looked around to see Eragon smiling at her. Why is he smiling wasn’t he mad at her for hitting him and yelling at him?
“Eragon why are you smiling? Aren’t you mad at me?“
“No,” he said “we have both been through our troubles and you seem better now, and know you are not alone you still have me and Saphira, as well as Nasuada.“
At that moment she realized she had not lost everything she still had Eragon a very close friend.
“Thank you Eragon for letting me get that off my chest I was so tightly wound on not letting my emotions show that I snapped on you and I beg your forgiveness Eragon”.
“Of course I forgive you Arya you are not a animal you have feelings too, everyone snaps once in a while.”
“Shall we go then?” she said wearily.
“Alright,” he said his smile faltering.
As they set off, Arya thought, he is wise, kind and caring far beyond the youth of his years. He has matured slightly.
*********************
They made it back to the Varden as the sun was setting on their backs.
“We should probably go talk to Nasuada now we need to discuss our plans,” Arya said.
“What plans?” Eragon asked suspiciously.
Arya sighed. “Eragon though we elves do not believe in gods we do have funerals, to celebrate the lives of the deceased. You intend to go do you not? It is required, he was your ebrithil.”
“Oh.” Eragon spoke surprised, “Yes we must leave soon I assume then.”
“Aye. We probably should have already left,” said Arya sighing again.
“What?!” Eragon yelled.
“Why have you not informed us of this already!!” Eragon said annoyed.
Arya spoke calmly still, “We didn’t want to disrupt you.”
“Fine but if you are coming I am leaving tonight with or with out Nasuada’s permission“. He said arrogantly.
“I will see you in an hour then,” Arya said, as she strode off.
Eragon went straight to Nasuada’s tent pausing for a second has the Nighthawkes permitted him entry.
“Eragon,” Nasuada greeted him.
“My liege I wish for you to renounce my oath of fealty, I will continue to help the Varden but the only free rider in Alegasia should not be bound to one group.” Eragon smiled in his head he presented his case well she could not deny him.
Nasuada smiled “You are free Eragon you present your case well I see you have finally learnt to play this came and speak knowingly”.
“I know of your plans to go to your masters funeral I wish you would not but I have no power to stop you. I only have one request will the elfin guards stay to help protect the Varden?”
“Yes this I can allow though I would ask Queen Izlanzadi to order this of them, elves can be quite unpredictable,” He warned her caution in his voice.
“Alright that is all you may go,” Nasuada said wearily.
With that Eragon strode from Nasuada’s pavilion to let Saphira know and prepare for the journey.
